FM Velocity
The FM Velocity parameter determines how FM layers in Programs respond to note velocity.
When FM Velocity is set to 1-100, FM layers will respond to note velocities 1-127, but will
sound as they did in classic FM synthesizers which only transmitted velocities 1-100. This is
useful when playing FM layers loaded from classic FM synthesizer (.SYX) files.
When FM Velocity is set to 1-127, FM layers will respond to note velocities 1-127. This
provides more velocity range than classic FM synthesizers; FM layers loaded from classic FM
synthesizers may sound different (loaded FM layers will often sound brighter).
Default Song
The Default Song parameter determines which song will be used as a new song template
when 0*New Song* is selected in Song mode. By selecting an edited user song, this allows
you to set custom settings for the new song template (such as metronome Program and
Count Off settings).
Blink Tempo
When the Blink Tempo parameter is set to No, the TAP TEMPO button does not blink.
When the Blink Tempo parameter is set to Yes, the TAP TEMPO button will blink in sync
with quarter notes of the system tempo.
Program Tempo
When this is set to Program, each program can be saved with a specific tempo, or be set to
use the system tempo. Tempo is used for the Arpeggiator, CC Sequencer, and Tempo synced
LFOs and effects. This is set on the Program Edit Arp page (see
3-12). Per-program Tempos can also be overridden by selecting System for the Global tempo
parameter.
Drum Remap
This parameter will remap all Drum programs to conform to the General MIDI (GM) drum
map, a standard drum map used in many keyboards and synthesizers.
When the Drum Remap is set to None, no remapping takes place. When the Drum Remap
is set to GM, the PC4 SE remaps Drum programs to the GM drum map.
